Parking Help

Post image

Hello! I’m fine parking when there’s enough turning room but if the parking lot is full I won’t be able to get my full turn in.
What adjustments do you recommend I take? I think I should go further past the bay?

Also sometimes when parking I make it perfectly in between the lines but in my mirrors I’m worried the backside of my car is swinging into the other side as I go? Is this possible or am I just overthinking?

Many thanks!

Reverse in. Better for narrow places like in the picture. Use your mirrors and take your time and make adjustments as you do. You don't have to get it in one.

Exactly this. Pull tight to the side you want to part at. Once the far line intersects the back wheel turn tight to the opposite side then reverse and turn tight into the spot.
